Holler Waller claytalk, that's cute. I'm happy to share.

======================

Wish List #6 progress report.

The Retro Siren sign for Barbara Lawrence is slowly drying. I put weights on it to prevent warping. I hope it works.

===============================

This Tiki Bob is for Jay Sterling. He loves all things camping. He sent a list of the things he wanted on the mug. I hope I got it right. Here's how I put it all together.

First on the list was the camping symbol. He had mentioned doing a tent with Tiki Bob peeking out or a mug. So I did the symbol with one of the flaps open with Tiki Bob looking out. This is on the back of the mug. It's so tiny I sculpted with a brush.

I worked on him later when the clay was firmer.

Next he wanted dominos that added up to 17. I planted them like wooden tikis rooted to the ground.

A sign saying camp sight number 3.

Next I started making the hands that would hold more requests.

I attached the hands and made a little hot dog.

Now he is holding it.

Backside.

I made the other hand to hold a stick. Next I made a campfire rock surround with a big flame shooting up.

I added logs to the fire and a stack of smoores at the side. Did I spell that correctly?

This is a skunk. I copied it from a photo. I think the glazing will take away the squirrel look.

At the top back I added the words. HAPPY CAMPER.

Here's the mug.

Marshmallow on the stick melting for the smoores.

Jay, I hope I didn't miss anything. Happy Camping, Wendy
